PERTH Wildcats coach Trevor Gleeson may have brushed it off as – to paraphrase Shakespeare – “much ado about nothing” but the NBL still fined him $500 for pushing Sydney centre Andrew Bogut in the chest.

DISPLAYING the fighting spirit for which players such as Rachael Sporn, Erin Phillips, Jess Foley and Sam Woosnam made the WNBL club famous, MAC Adelaide Lightning closed Round 9 early and with aplomb.

HE who laughs last, laughs the loudest, or so the saying goes. Cast as the villain by Adelaide NBL fans and the subject of derision from the moment he hit the hardwood, Illawarra import Jordair Jett enjoyed the last laugh when he completed a weaving, threading move through the 36ers’ defence for the winning basket at the buzzer.
